Ten Foot Slug “We both draw, not on the literal memory of childhood, but on the emotional memory of its stress and its urgency. And neither of us forgot our childhood dreams.” Maurice Sendak, speaking about Winsor McCay
Inexplicable things happen to us when we are children. Of course, now we are all old and possibly wise we dismiss these memories as dreams, fever induced fantasy, overactive imaginations; but there was a time when we believed, when we took them for literal, solid memories.
	Ten Foot Slug is a book about a few of those moments, collected and put together in a book so we don’t forget them, and hopefully, to remind the reader of a few inexplicable memories of their own. During the project I’ve been particularly influenced by Chris Ware, Edward Gorey, Dave McKean and Alexis Deacon, and the work itself is a mixture of acrylic, ink and other media.
